Theology

I love theology. I read textbooks on theology at night before I go to bed (yes, I'm a dork). But I read this quote on Alan Hirsch's blog and I think it is a fantastic reminder:

----
“Every concept formed by the intellect in an attempt to comprehend and circumscribe the divine nature can succeed only in fashioning an idol, not in making God known.” - Gregory of Nyssa, “Life of Moses” -

Our ideas about God are only meant to direct our attention toward God, who is always greater than our ideas.
----

Wow, now that is an awesome reminder!

Hope you had fun with my hubby this morning. Sorry it had to be later :) As for the advice, I really appreciate it (really!) but something in me doesn't feel right about trying to get out of the increase since that's what they really need. The way I see it, if we're meant not to pay it, we'll just get the referral before the 1st. Ya know?
